0:00:01 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08- a classic car...- We're going round!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I want to spend lots of money.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction - but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- Oh, no!- There'll be worthy winners...- Yes!- We've done it.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25You are kidding me.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- What am I doing?- You've got a deal. - This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's another day out on the road trip for Thomas Plant
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and Anita Manning,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46and this time they're cruising around England's sunny south coast.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Thomas, here we are in Bournemouth.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51The sea is over there, the sun is shining.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Maybe we could get some buckets. - Buckets and spades.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Buckets and spades. A kiss-me-quick hat.- Oh!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Don't tempt me, Thomas.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05It is a real sort of holiday feeling, isn't it?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06It certainly is.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Thomas Plant is an antiques expert who never neglects
0:01:11 > 0:01:12the body beautiful.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19And experienced auctioneer Anita Manning is never
0:01:19 > 0:01:22surprised by something old.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23IT GROWLS
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Both Thomas and Anita started the trip with £200,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32but after taking an early lead, Thomas's big spending has
0:01:32 > 0:01:38caused big losses, and he is starting today with only £154.98.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Thrifty Anita has now taken the lead with £255.94.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Summertime and the living is easy. - The living is easy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Well, the living isn't easy for me because I'm so poor, but you're so rich!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57I know. I must say, Thomas, I've surged ahead here.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I was going to say I crept ahead,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02but in actual fact I've surged ahead!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Surged ahead, and I've sort of surged backwards.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We're on our fourth leg
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and I don't know if you've got a leg to stand on.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12That's fighting talk, Anita.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So with a full tank in their 1968 Lotus Elan,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17let's see where our happy pair are off to.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24On this road trip, Thomas and Anita will travel over 550
0:02:24 > 0:02:27miles from the village of Redbourn, in Hertfordshire,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29all the way to the town of Maidstone, in Kent.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32But today they start in beautiful Bournemouth
0:02:32 > 0:02:35before driving across southern England to end up at an auction,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38100 miles away in Dorking.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42You were a wee bit casual in the way you spent your money the last time.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47I was. You were very careful - that was the right approach.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50My plan is to follow you again and to spend little.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57So, now, Thomas has a plan.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59He's off to Robin's Antiques, run by,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01no prizes for guessing, Robin.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07What we do need to know before you do start is have you got a licence?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- A licence for what?- Begging. - No, I haven't got a begging licence.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12I won't be begging.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16And keeping up the family tradition is his grandson, Dan.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19This place is a feast for the eyes
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and there's quite a few items catching Thomas's eye.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Very arts and crafts, isn't it?- It is, isn't it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Gothic-like.- Gothic coat hook.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Still, it's made out of silver-plated brass,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41with a planished,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45as in a hammer-beating effect. Planished hand-beating.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think it was a coat hook and it would have had a couple
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- of brushes hanging from it... - Certainly could have had that, yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- ..for brushing off your coat and what have you.- What a fun thing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Can I think about that? How much is that?- It is £35.- Is it?- Yes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04That one is a definitely maybe for Thomas.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Now, what has he found out the back?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- It's a complete smoker's compendium.- It is lovely.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Smoker's compendium. So you've got your table lights...
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Your table lights.- ..your vesta. - That's right.- An ashtray...- Yeah.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21..or a tobacco pot, or ashtray in there.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26I would say that was for a drink, have a whiskey,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28but it's nice being complete.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33The style of it, there is no damage, and the whole thing is £80.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I find it so cool. I love this Jugendstil style,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39the cleanness of lime.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Jugendstil, or "young style", was the German version of Art Nouveau
0:04:45 > 0:04:47from the turn-of-the-century.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51This was made by the Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik
0:04:51 > 0:04:52or, more simplify, WMF.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Could Robin simplify the ticket price a bit, perhaps?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01The smoker's compendium...
0:05:01 > 0:05:02£65.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07So, Robin is asking for £100 for the two items.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Any movement on that?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I wanted to come in here and spend 50 quid on a couple
0:05:14 > 0:05:18of lots, and then 50 quid on another couple of lot somewhere else.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Don't look like that! Don't look like that.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25He looks as if he is going to throw you out the shop.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Listen, I will let you have both bits.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33That is the smoker's compendium and the coat hook for 70 quid.
0:05:33 > 0:05:40- Really? Very good man.- There we are. - You are a very good man.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, that was a good bit of business, Tom.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45£50 for the smoker's set and £20 for the coat hook.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Anita has travelled nine miles east from Bournemouth to
0:05:51 > 0:05:55New Milton and crossed the county line from Dorset into Hampshire.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01She's here to shop in Serendipity One.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05IT GROWLS
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- TOM LAUGHS - Must be a "do-you-think-he-saurus."
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And he certainly did, Anita. Here to help us is Nick.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Nice to meet you. - I love your reception committee.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Well, yes, he is there to let me know someone is in the door.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- He is not a watchdog or anything? - Not really.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Did he tell you to spend all your money?- I'm not telling you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28We will get some out of you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33There is a bit of everything in here,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and it is just the sort of wonderful shop where you would never
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- know what you're going to buy. - Indeed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Now, how about this little fella?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47This type of thing I find fascinating.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52I find the simplicity of the carving very, very attractive.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And at the turn-of-the-century it was this type of carving
0:06:56 > 0:07:02and African tribal masks that inspired artists like Picasso.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's carved in some sort of hardwood
0:07:05 > 0:07:10and there are little mother of pearl insets here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14(There is no price on it, so I wonder how much it is.)
0:07:14 > 0:07:18If I can get that really quite cheaply...
0:07:19 > 0:07:20..I'm going to have a go at him.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26But first, what else can she sniff out?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29A sign like this is like a red rag to a bull in this game.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Nick.- Yes, Anita?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Staff only.- We don't let everybody out here,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39but only because it is you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Thank you.- Carry on.- So these are all boxes that you brought in...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Bags and boxes, China, bits and pieces.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh, I can't wait to have a rummage.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Get in there and have a good old rummage.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59This is like access all areas.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04This is like backstage, and this is where sometimes you can find
0:08:04 > 0:08:08the really nice bits and pieces.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Ah! Now, I love this stuff.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17This is a piece of Poole Pottery made in the '60s/'70s.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21It is from the Aegean and Delphis range.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It was the time of psychedelic colours.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It was a time of Carnaby Street.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27It was a time of hippies.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It was absolutely... It was colourful
0:08:30 > 0:08:36and Poole reflected the mood of the times in the designs for this range.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Yes, Poole Pottery comes from nearby Poole and is collectable,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44but what can Anita get it for?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It would be lovely to get it for under 20.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57- It reflected the age.- Yes.- And this sort of...- Nice and local as well.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Well, that's what I was thinking. That's what I was thinking.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So hopefully, if you're selling locally, it could be a good thing.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Yeah. It's the type of thing that I would have in my house.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And, of course, you don't know how much it is.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- No, well, that's the rub.- It's cheap. - Is it?- It's cheap.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- £10 to you.- £10?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18£10, that's a bargain. One off.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- No more to be said on that.- No more to be said.- OK, one deal done.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27But what about our little friend?
0:09:27 > 0:09:34- It's nearly as tall as you. - It nearly is. He can be my wee pal.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40He was £75, but we want you to win and, as you say,
0:09:40 > 0:09:41he is a bit damaged.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- What about if we did 40 for you? - 40. Still a wee bit dear at 40.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Could we go 30?- Shall we do that? - Shall we shake our hands at 30?
0:09:50 > 0:09:5330's fine. Thank you very much, Nick.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55There you go, Anita.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Another low-spending shopping trip. £10 for the pottery
0:09:58 > 0:10:02and £30 for the sculpture means plenty of cash left.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Watch out for the door dinosaur!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Thomas, meanwhile, has also gone west, to Hampshire,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13travelling nearly 42 miles from Bournemouth to Wickham
0:10:13 > 0:10:15for his next spot of shopping.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18This historic conservation village has been a settlement
0:10:18 > 0:10:20since Roman times.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Thomas is off to Warwick Lane Shopping Centre to meet Steve.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27- Hi, I'm Thomas.- Hi, Thomas.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Steve, I'm the manager at Warwick Lane in Wickham.- Hello, Steve.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Warwick Lane has about 40 dealers and is packed with goodies.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I found some vintage skipping-ropes for my new-found fitness.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Now, what's that saying about a bull in a china shop?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- What's your age, Thomas?- Three. - And barely that, some might say.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59A pair of glass salt dishes.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Handle with care, for goodness' sake.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06They're cut glass with cut glass rims in the boat shape.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Got a tiny bit of wear to them round there.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Just got to work out how old they are.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I think they're early 19th century.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22£6 each. £6 each for a pair of early 19th-century salts.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Phew!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28£6 for an item that would have sat on the dining table
0:11:28 > 0:11:33around the time of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo? Incredible!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Now, back to something sweet. It's a sugar bowl.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39This is rather stylish, got a lovely shape to it,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and I love the finial.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It's Art Deco, around about 1920s, with a planished interior,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47hammer-beaten planished effect.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Been made by hand. This finial, this handle here, that is polished ivory.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Well, it's a controversial material.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00But, if formed before 1947, it's legal to buy and sell.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Quite a nice thing. So that's something I'm going to think about.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I shall go and ask Steve about these, the two things I've picked up.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12So yes, what can be done on those, if anything at all, please?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Well, I'll ring up the sellers and we'll find out.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18The pair of glass salts is priced at £12.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Steve checks with dealer, Mandy, for the best price.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Would you accept £8? - Yes, perfect. Done.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- And what about that one there? - The sugar bowl is priced at £15.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Steve checks with dealer, Sue.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Would £9 be more acceptable? - Perfect. Thank you very much.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Why didn't I come here fist? - THEY LAUGH
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Brilliant.- This is brilliant. Thank you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44So, that's the glass salts for £8,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48the sugar bowl for £9, and nothing broken.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Very bullish of you, Thomas.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Anita has now made her way 45 miles east to Gosport,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57a town with a proud Naval history,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01and home to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Submarines are now huge hi tech craft,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07vital for the defence of our island nation,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09but it didn't start out that way.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12And Anita's here to find out about the sacrifices
0:13:12 > 0:13:14made to develop this deadly technology.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Here to meet her is archivist George Malcolmson.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25You know, from Glasgow, I've always had a fascination for the sea
0:13:25 > 0:13:31and for ships, but submarines are something really quite different.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36This looks like a strange creature from the deep.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Can you tell me a bit about it?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well, we're looking at the Holland 1,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42or to give it its proper name,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46His Majesty's Submarine Torpedo Boat Number 1.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It was launched in October 1901.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53The Holland 1 was the Royal Navy's first ever submarine,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58named after John Philip Holland, an Irish-American engineer.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Previous attempts at building subs date back to 1620,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06but Holland's design, made for the US Navy in 1900,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09is regarded as the mother of modern submarines.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Countries, including Britain, all began to build subs
0:14:12 > 0:14:15after the Americans allowed the design to be sold.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Can we go inside?- Yes, we can go in. Have a look through.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Just mind your head.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Are submariners usually wee?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Strangely enough, no. I know many who are over six foot. - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The Holland would have had a crew of eight men,
0:14:33 > 0:14:38squeezed into this small space, with no contact with the outside world.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It was hot, uncomfortable, dangerous work for the crews,
0:14:41 > 0:14:42not to mention the smell.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47The smell of the petrol engine,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51the fumes coming up from the batteries...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55There would have been a very distinct odour in these submarines.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And they always said, you could smell a submariner
0:14:58 > 0:15:00before you saw him.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It's difficult to imagine eight or nine men working in here,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09but I believe you have something even smaller to show me.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12By the start of World War I, the Royal Navy had more subs
0:15:12 > 0:15:15than any other nation, and by the Second World War,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18its engineers were getting ever more inventive.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21The X Class midget submarines were even smaller than the Holland
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and were involved in some of the war's most daring raids
0:15:25 > 0:15:29as they could sneak in, undetected, to enemy harbours to lay mines.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33These were very hazardous missions.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37This one is the great survivor because she went on two operations
0:15:37 > 0:15:42to Norway, attacking the U Boat facilities in Bergen, and came back.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45One of the few that came back.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Success came at a price, though.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50In the raids on Bergen
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and in the mission to sink the battleship Tirpitz,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55eight midget submarines were used -
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- only three completed the mission. - How many men would be in here?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Three crew and a diver.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Of the 12 X Class subs that saw service during World War II,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10only five survived and nearly half of the crewmen were killed.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15George, I imagine that this tiny submarine
0:16:15 > 0:16:22must have been even more dangerous than the big submarines.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Were submariners a special type of man?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Well, the volunteers for this type of hazardous service
0:16:31 > 0:16:35were called from the Navy and people volunteered,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38and they had to go through fairly rigorous training.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42The very nature of being in a submarine...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It just means that you're relying on other members of the crew
0:16:47 > 0:16:48for your safety.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51And the more difficult the conditions,
0:16:51 > 0:16:56it seems to bind the people together much more strongly.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58The submariners life has always been difficult,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02and over 5,000 of them have died serving their country.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05But the submarine's qualities of stealth and surprise,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06so vital in the past,
0:17:06 > 0:17:11are what keeps it at the forefront of defending Britain today.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16That sombre note brings us to the end of day one. Night-night.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's the start of another sunny day on the Road Trip.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Well, not quite, but our duo are in Southsea and are in good spirits.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Thomas, how do you feel being in Southsea,
0:17:29 > 0:17:35sitting beside a beautiful woman, in a lovely yellow sports car?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, do you know? I have to say, I enjoy the British seaside.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And I love things like these gorgeous huts.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yeah, they're great, aren't they? With their lovely pastel colours.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's sweet, isn't it?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50There is something magical about the British seaside.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- And people all muffled up against the wind.- Yeah, yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- There's no such thing as bad weather.- No.- It's poor clothing.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58That's right.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03A very British attitude. Now, Thomas had a trying day yesterday.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05He tried not to spend too much,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08but still managed to pay out £87 on four items.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11The smoking set, the coat hook,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13the glass salts and the Art Deco bowl.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17That leaves him with £67.98 for the day ahead.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Low-spending Anita played it sensible and canny again,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24spending only £40 on two items.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26A tribal sculpture and a Poole Pottery plate,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30giving her £215.94 to spend today.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Anita is starting her day in Southsea,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38with a trip to Parmiters Antiques, run by the very charming Ian.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Stand by.- Can I leave my bonnet here?- Of course you can.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll put it on the dog.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Don't sell it.- Ha!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48So, with her hat off and her buying head on,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Anita has a bit of a rummage.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55These are boots that certainly weren't made for walking.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59These boots were made for showing off.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- They don't fit me. - They don't fit you?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- I don't think they'd fit me either. - She's given the boots the boot.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But time is marching on. What's going to be worth a punt?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Little wall plaque with a photograph in the middle
0:19:14 > 0:19:17commemorating HMS Vengeance.
0:19:19 > 0:19:26- Ian!- Yeah?- This little HMS Vengeance.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27- It's sweet, isn't it?- It is.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32You know, it's very, I suppose, evocative.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37And it's typical of what you might find in a town like this
0:19:37 > 0:19:40that was based on ships and the Navy and so on.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And you've got these two serious little children
0:19:43 > 0:19:47who have all been scrunched into their best clothes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- They had to sit there for five minutes.- Sit there for five minutes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Do we know anything about the HMS Vengeance?- No.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I haven't even looked it up, but I'm guessing 1900...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Maybe a dreadnought. One of the old dreadnoughts.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Ian is very nearly right.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04HMS Vengeance was built in 1899
0:20:04 > 0:20:06and was one of the last of the battleships made
0:20:06 > 0:20:08prior to the massive dreadnoughts.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14- What sort of price is a bargain? - Bargain to you - 20 quid.- 20 quid?
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- That's an absolute bargain.- I like that for 20. I think I'll take that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- That's one down. Now, what else has Ian got?- I've got one for you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- See all this 18th century pottery?- Uh-huh.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- All that, 25 quid the lot. - 25 quid for the lot?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It's all damaged - guaranteed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40There's a lot of stuff there, and it might well sell, but it's a gamble,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- particularly if it's damaged.- How many bits have we got? One, two...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48..three, four, five, six, seven. Eight.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Nine, ten, 11 bits.
0:20:53 > 0:21:00- No rush, Anita. You just take your time.- Of 18th century ceramic?- Yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0118th and early 19th.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03You can't go wrong, can you?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07She's thinking about it. How about a double deal, Ian?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09£40 for that and the frame.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Let's go for it.- All right. - Let's go for it. 40 quid.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- If you don't make money, I'll give you a tenner.- Oh. SHE LAUGHS
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Another brace of budget buys for Anita.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27A varied lot of pottery for £20
0:21:27 > 0:21:31and the HMS Vengeance life saver portrait, also for £20.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Tom's starting his day in Southsea
0:21:36 > 0:21:39with a trip to hear the story of D-Day,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42the invasion of France, told from a local perspective,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- and showing him round is Andrew. - Hello, I'm Andrew.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46- It's so windy here, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Was it windy when we went to France on D-Day?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The weather wasn't very good anywhere.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I think it was worse than today, though.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So much has been talked about and concentrated on the actual events
0:21:56 > 0:22:00in Normandy, D-Day itself,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but what happened in Portsmouth and to the people of Portsmouth,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05the civilian population, how did they survive?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07How did they cope?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yeah, I think the preparations for D-Day that took place in Portsmouth
0:22:10 > 0:22:14and also all along the south coast, are often forgotten about,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17but they were just as important to the success of D-Day.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21June the 6th, 1944, or D-Day as we now know it,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24was the start of the Allied invasion of Normandy
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and the beginning of the liberation of Europe from Hitler's Nazis.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But it was a long time in the planning
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and, as the Allies prepared to go to France,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35changes began to appear around Portsmouth
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and the south coast in early 1944.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40As D-Day approached, there would be more
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and more troops building up and gathering into the area.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44There were restrictions.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49There was a ten-mile-deep band running along the south coast
0:22:49 > 0:22:52where you had to have a special pass to get into it in the lead up to D-Day,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55so there were special security restrictions.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00You had camps, troop camps, probably a few miles inland,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02often hidden away in a wood.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06In a wood so that if there were enemy aircraft flying overhead
0:23:06 > 0:23:09or spies around, it was a lot harder to see them.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Troops had been waiting in there for a couple of weeks,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17maybe a month or so before D-Day and about a week or so before D-Day,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21the camps were sealed, which meant no-one could go in or out.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24By the end of May, over a million troops from the Wash to Land's End
0:23:24 > 0:23:26waited expectantly,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29but none of them knew the top secret time and date of D-Day.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Surely the Germans had an inkling that we were coming?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Well, that's definitely true.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It wasn't a secret that D-Day,
0:23:37 > 0:23:42or an Allied landing somewhere on the coast of Europe was coming soon.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44The Allies had made no secret of that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47But the two key bits of information that the Germans
0:23:47 > 0:23:50really needed to find out, but fortunately didn't,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52were where and when it would be happening.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Just as well the Germans never got their hands on one of these, then.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's a step-by-step guide on how to invade occupied France.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So when were they given these?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07They'd have been given them maybe a week or more before D-Day,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09but until the last minute, they were sealed up.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13So in a sealed envelope, which they weren't allowed to open.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And then, just days before D-Day, the order went out,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17they could open their orders
0:24:17 > 0:24:19and actually find out where they were going.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Didn't people open them immediately and think, "Oh, what's going on?"
0:24:22 > 0:24:25People knew that it was really important to preserve secrecy
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and to make sure that the enemy didn't get wind of what was coming.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32On the 4th of June,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36the troops due to invade Normandy began to move into place
0:24:36 > 0:24:38to embark from Portsmouth docks,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40filling the streets with trucks and troops.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46How did the civilian population of Portsmouth react
0:24:46 > 0:24:52- to this huge influx of military personnel?- There were, as you say,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55huge numbers of troops in the area in the lead up to D-Day.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Troops would have been just sleeping in or under their vehicles,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01so local people often did things like invite them
0:25:01 > 0:25:04into their house for a bath or to share some food.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07And, obviously, food was rationed so that was quite a big thing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09So quite often,
0:25:09 > 0:25:14you had friendships struck up just in a day or two between people,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18civilians living along the south coast, and these troops.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21But as the troops from various countries waited at the docks
0:25:21 > 0:25:22to board their landing craft,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27one local five-year-old girl called Betty White and some of her chums
0:25:27 > 0:25:30saw the opportunity for a spot of memento collecting.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33They asked the troops to give them badges from their uniforms
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and that's where all these badges come from,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37and her mother later sewed them
0:25:37 > 0:25:41onto this coat to hold the whole collection together.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44But those badges, it's a cross section of different units
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and different nationalities,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51so it's a great summary of many of those troops who went from Gosport.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- No doubt the troops weren't meant to do this.- No.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56But this coat really is a good example,
0:25:56 > 0:26:02isn't it, of how the troops and the local people did get talking,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04did exchange gifts and things like that
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- despite the official regulations.- Yeah.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Overnight on the 5th of June, the thousands of troops
0:26:09 > 0:26:13and boats disappeared, leaving an eerie calm.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17The story of what happened next has been well told,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21but the towns of the south coast can be proud of their vital role.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27And our Anita has hit the road again,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30this time eight miles east to Chichester.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Now, Chichester is the county town of West Sussex.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Its cathedral is almost 1,000 years old,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and is the final resting place of the composer Gustav Holst.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42But Anita is hoping there'll be something
0:26:42 > 0:26:45going for a song in Hancock Antiques, run by Peter.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Lovely to meet you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54More crockery, Anita?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01And loads of it too.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04SHE LAUGHS
0:27:04 > 0:27:06There's a lot of pottery here and most of it
0:27:06 > 0:27:10isn't in good condition, so it's probably no use to me. Oh!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Heard a wee clink there. I have to be careful.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You might feel more at home with Peter's jewellery.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I love rummaging through all this.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Lovely wee bits and pieces of jewellery.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29That's a rather pretty piece of agate, Peter.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Agate is a popular stone with beautiful striping.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38This brooch has a ticket price of £40.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Can that one be bought for 20?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47It's not gold. The stone's in good condition
0:27:47 > 0:27:54and it's the type of thing that a private lady might fancy at auction.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- I can do it for 20. - You can do it for 20?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Let's do it for 20 then. That's lovely. Thank you very much, Peter.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02That's great.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So Anita has rounded off her shopping
0:28:06 > 0:28:09with an attractive agate brooch for £20.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13But no more porcelain.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Meanwhile, Thomas has made the journey ten miles east to Emsworth.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22He's heading to Emsworth Antiques and the very obliging Hillary.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Hello.- Hello.- I'm Thomas.- Oh, I'm Hillary. Pleased to meet you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29And he's already after the sympathy vote.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- You've run out of money? - Not necessarily.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I'd be lying if I said I'd run out of money,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38but I'm desperate to claw back the money I lost last auction.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43So one is being, as one says in Somerset, careful.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Right.- Less of the sob story and more shopping, please, Thomas.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- He's looking.- Come on, Plant. Where is it?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00And still looking.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Sometime today might be nice, Thomas.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- You're struggling, aren't you? - No. No, I'm not struggling.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10No, I'm just picking myself up to sort of... Er, find something.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11I beg your pardon?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16More small shiny things?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20How about something large and not shiny for a change, Thomas?
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Something like...
0:29:23 > 0:29:24..them.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Two garden ornaments.
0:29:27 > 0:29:34One in terracotta of a Grecian girl, and another in composite,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37or like a concrete, which has been weathered.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39They're both quite nice, really, aren't they?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42The frost has been at this, being a terracotta.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- But that shows that she's been places, doesn't it?- It does.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- It does. How much for these two? - How do you feel about 80?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Oh, I haven't got £80.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- You didn't tell me that! - I haven't got £80.- What do you have?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Oh, not very much at all. - Well, make me a suggestion.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Oh, I don't think they're worth a huge amount.
0:30:00 > 0:30:0135 on those.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Mm-hm. That's the death, is it?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Well, they look as though they've died already.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- They've been decapitated, yeah. - What could you go to?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I think they're great fun.
0:30:16 > 0:30:1830 and we've got a deal. Or is that not going to happen?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Go on, then. 30.- £30, brilliant. - We've got a deal.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24(That was hard work!)
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- I can't shake your hand because I'm busy. Have a head. - THEY LAUGH
0:30:29 > 0:30:32£80 to £30 - now that's a great discount.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35The deal is done, with a great discount
0:30:35 > 0:30:37and neither of them lost their heads.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39So, Thomas is finished for the day.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Let's just have a little reminder of what he's bought for auction.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Thomas spent just £117 on five lots -
0:30:46 > 0:30:48the smoking set, the coat hook,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51the glass salts, an Art Deco bowl,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53and a pair of stone heads...
0:30:53 > 0:30:54as you do.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Anita had another great day of shopping carefully.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02She also bought five lots -
0:31:02 > 0:31:04the tribal sculpture, the Poole Pottery,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07the ceramic mix, the naval photo frame,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09and the agate brooch,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11costing her a reasonable £100.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17So, let's hear what they think about each other's treasures.
0:31:17 > 0:31:24My favourite item of Thomas' is that wonderful Art Nouveau coat hook.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26And if I was going to swap that, I think
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I would swap it with my tribal figure.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Not because I don't love it,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35but because I think I might have paid a little bit too much for it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Well, of Anita's,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40my favourite has to be the mixed lot of broken ceramics.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I think she's got real potential there
0:31:42 > 0:31:45because some restorer could do a real job, but it only cost her £20.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Our dealing duo are ready for auction,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51so off to Dorking, 40 miles north.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Avanti!
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Thomas, we're heading for our fourth auction and, darling,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I hate to say it but I'm a wee bit ahead of you.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06You are a wee bit ahead. Just a wee, a wee hundred pounds!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09A wee hundred pounds indeed.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Today's auction house is Crow's Auction Gallery.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It's been here in Dorking for over 100 years,
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- so it's like an old antique itself. - There it is, Anita.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Oh, here we are, Thomas. Are you excited?
0:32:20 > 0:32:26- I am because I fancy crawling back. - Whacking me today?- Not whacking you.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I never want to whack you, Anita!
0:32:30 > 0:32:35Our auctioneer is Tom Lofts. Has anything caught his eye?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38The African figure will be a challenging lot.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42I'm lost for words, but we'll give it a go.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45The collection of pottery and porcelain...
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I hope that somewhere somebody has found a piece
0:32:48 > 0:32:52that they can get out of jail with, but it could be a struggle.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53It's not a packed room,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57but there's a lot of interest on the telephone and over the internet.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Let the auction begin!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03First off, is the psychedelic Poole Pottery dish.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09- £10. Should double my money. Yes, yes.- Who'll start me here, please?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- 20, straight in? I've got it. - 20 straight.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16And two and five and eight and 30 and two and five and eight and 40.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33- All done then, at £50.- Yes!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Brilliant.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Yeah, baby. That's £40 of profit.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46I knew that I had a good one there. The rest of it has still to come.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Next up it's Thomas' smoking set.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Will it set the auction alight, though?- We like this a lot.- Yes.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57What do we say now? 40? 30? 20? Bid.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- 30, bid. 40 bid. Quickly coming in at 42.- Yep, yep, yep.- 45. At £45.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Thought we'd make a lot more on this. At £60.- Well.- I'm trading.

0:34:14 > 0:34:20- £60.- Well.- You profit, Thomas. Profit.- Got out of it.- Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Oh, just. But a profit is a profit.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27It's Anita's next item - the tribal sculpture.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30He didn't look that tall in the shop.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- This is where I might fall down, Thomas.- 20. 30, 40 bid. £40.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38There you are. You're into profit.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40At £40, being sold. At 40, I do not believe this.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- At £40.- You can't believe it, can you?
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- 45 and 50 and five and 60. - There you are! Doubling your money!
0:34:47 > 0:34:5060 in the room. Selling at 60. Selling at 60. Where are we now?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- At £60, being sold. At 60. At 60. The line's all out.- This is it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- I'm selling it at £60, all done. At £60.- Well done.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06£60. My objet trouve!
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Doubled her money. Another excellent buy from Anita.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Do you want a hanky for that wee tear?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16SHE LAUGHS
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Come on, Thomas. You need the coat hook to get you off the hook.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Telephone interest, I believe, here. And commissions with me.
0:35:23 > 0:35:30- Right, so here we start at 40.- Yes! - Five, 60, five, 70.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Can I say 70 bid on the telephone? Now telephone bid 70.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51Outstanding. That's got him right back in the running.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- You're snapping at my heels. - No, I'm not!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Not when you buy African figures which double their money.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Now, will Anita's lifebelt portrait sink or swim?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07And we've got commissions, I'm pleased to say,
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- but a very low start at 20.- Oh, all right.- 22. 25. Don't get too excited!

0:36:37 > 0:36:41That profit has got Anita's head above the water.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- I'm a happy girl today. - I bet you are! Look at you.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- "I'm a happy girl today..." - It's just luck. It's just luck.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- "I'm a happy girl, a happy girl today."- You behave yourself! THEY LAUGH
0:36:53 > 0:36:59Thomas' glass salts next - small but perfectly formed - how will they do?

0:37:36 > 0:37:42- You are a good boy.- Oh. I like to be a good boy. - THEY LAUGH
0:37:42 > 0:37:44You're a clever boy.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Is Anita's agate brooch going to push her ahead of Thomas?
0:37:50 > 0:37:56Commissions with me. A low start again at ten. 12. 15. 18. 20. 22.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yes, you're there. You going to double it again?

0:38:23 > 0:38:24Well done, sir.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31Another big profit could put Thomas onto Easy Street here.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34My starter with me is a low start of 20.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Brilliant stuff. That could be the lot that wins it for him.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13A lack of hands means we can only see two of the 11 items
0:40:13 > 0:40:18being held up. No-one had high hopes for this, even Anita.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20She needs a whopping profit here to beat Thomas.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- 85.- Anita!- That is a good lot. THEY LAUGH

0:41:33 > 0:41:37- Come on, Tina!- Please. Say please. All done? 95 on line one.- Please!

0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Say please nicely. - She's done well enough. It's fine.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54Put the hammer down.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57On line one. Selling at 110. At 110. Selling at 110 to line one.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- Sold at 110.- Oh, Anita!- 110!- Anita!
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Kiss me there.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Amazing. A perfect profit of £90 on the imperfect pottery.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14That means every item has made a profit today.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Well done to our duo.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18But who has won the day and taken the lead?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22After paying auction costs, Thomas is finally back in the black,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25with a profit of £106.86,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29leaving him with a total of £261.84.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33But Anita has not only won the day again with a great profit
0:42:33 > 0:42:39of £146, but she's kept her nose in front in the overall lead,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42with a total of £401.94.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Well, Thomas, we both did well, but I'm still ahead of you.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51- You're ahead about £150 now.- But you're still snapping at my heels.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Well, Anita, we started poorly. Surging ahead now.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58There's only one more chance now for Thomas to take the lead.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Oh, the tension!
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Next time on Antiques Road Trip,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Thomas reflects on past glories,
0:43:11 > 0:43:15and Anita knows how to compliment a dealer's collection.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18I had a little luck with some broken pottery before.
